The SalVationbU raised a great op-
roar at Ashbury Park, N. J., the other
day, and their leaders were arrested by
the police. Instead of praying to be
released from prison they published a
stupid piece of doggerel on their tribu
lations, and they had to pay the cost
before they secured their liberty.

1st. In the great State of Peunsylva-
eleetkm for State Treasurer win
take place. For this ettee the Repub
lican party has nominated Quay. The
conclave of the Democracy has named
Mr. Day, These two men are quite
typical of the parties they represent.
Quay is a politician of no small note
experience. His record is not savory
in the nostrils of lovers of pure meth
ods and upright conduct. He is a lieu
tenant of the notorious Don Cameron,
whose machine has been grinding out
laws and officers in Pennsylvania for
yean. Quay is known to be unscrupu
lous and a professional politician. It
would be a public calamity for Quay to
hold the Treasury keys of his huge
and opulent State.
On the other hand, Mr. Day is not a
politician at aU. He may be a states-
There is a vast difference be
tween the one and the other. Certain
it is, Day has been tried upon the sub
ject of finance and not been found
wanting. He has been tried in the
balance, as a gentleman of culture ami
refinement, and the country has not his
superior. He has been all his life a
student of finanee, and a man of
large business engagements. We say,
therefore, that the selection of Quay by
the Republicans well represent their
idea of office, that it is not a trust; but
for politican trickery. And
the selection of Day by the Democrats
show that the platform upon which
they triumphantly elected a president
of the nation, will be their platform to
the end, to-wit: The Government
should be oondacted on business prin-

church, after an investigation of the
disparaging reports concerning him,
paued the following resolution
Saturday:
“RmsM, That after a careful and
thorough investigation of the reports
which have been printed reflecting up
on the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, it is the
opinion of this vestry that the facts do
not demand the withdrawal of confi
dence in. our esteemed rector.”
Dr. Armstrong Sunday last resumed
his duties as rector of St. Phillips
church, Atlanta.
Ob the Right Line,
The New Orleans Southwestern Chris-
tain Advocate, a paper edited by eolor
ed men, makes a manly appeal '
halt of the women of the black
Starting out with the proposition that
the level of the women will ever be es
teemed the true level of the men, the
Advocate urges a prompt and determin
ed social reform. It admits that various
causes, conditions and temptations in
the past have debauched the eolored
women of the land, and brought about
to some extent the r.malgamarion of
the races. This vicious state of affairs
should be frowned upon by every self-
respecting human being,white or black.
Organisations of colored people, pledg
ed to purity and morality, should be
' formed, and the support of the whites
should be solicited. A crusade should
be inaugurated against the systematic
dehauebmentof colored women by
of their own and other races.
This says the Atlanta Constitution
the substance of the article referred to.
If the proposed reform takes sh
tn-t* fairly under way, will do
make the negro race happy, self-re
specting and respeeted than any move
ment ever started. Every deoent and
well-meaning negro in the eountry
should ponder well the words of the
New Orleans editor, “The level of the
women will ever he
level of men!”
A very interesting point hasjust been
decided by the New York supreese
court. The question was whether a
man starting in business had the right
to state on his sign and faoriaesi
that he was “late with” so and so, bis
former employer. A jeweler who
had been employed in a jevelry store
opened a shop of his own in the same
town. On his sign and bin inset cards
ho used the words “late with Ja “
VanWyek.” The latter complained that
the effect ef this announcement would
be to take away kis customers and in
jure his business. There was n
gatioa of fraud. Judge Wei
holds that the defendant had no right
to make sack use of the name of his
former employer. Ho says: “Nothing
is more completely the property of

The use of the plaintiffs name to make

All work was suspended and the popu-

soldiers were plentiful and their guns

the happy party were rowing down the

proaching steamer, when tho baby be
